Losses allocation techniques in unbalanced low voltage networks

The allocation of system losses to users is a challenging topic for distribution networks with a high penetration of distributed generation and with a liberalized electricity market. This work analyses the non-linear nature of the issue and different loss allocation methods existing in literature. One new specic circuit-based procedure, Multi-Phase and Neutral conductors Loss Allocation (MPNLA), is implemented in a multi-conductor environment designed for unbalanced low voltage networks.
